TheDimensionalUser·6/4/2016 in New Ideas

Share your bot ideas here! Currently I have two bot ideas

1. VandalBot

Will detect vandalism (for example, swear words being implemented as categories or pages) and both rollback the edit and ban the vandal. May be hard to code.

2. ChatBot

Will stay in chat forever and detect if rules are broken (mentions of the word suicide, for example) and warn the user.

Way too hard to code. Even the pro's on wikia haven't made something for that.
Has anybody ever been in chat here then? Also, it's hard to make something for that that really works correct always.

I don't believe bots are really necessary currently. Vandalism is uncommon, and even when it happens, there is always an admin lurking around to stop him.

Unneeded currently. Vandal bots are way to hard to code. Chat bot would be hard too, and it could go wrong. When the traffic increases, we could make chatloggers

I have a chat filter that sends warnings to the user when they use flagged words if you'd like it...
